Our servers run as userjobs symlinked to a single root install. Because of
this we cant use the autoupdate.
Heres the (quick and dirty) updatescript we run as a root cronjob every
night. (Valves updatetimes are perfect for us Europeans.)

In addition to this script we have user cronjobs checking and (if needed)
restarting the servers every 10 minutes.
The script will (as you can see) produce a single resultsfile + an output of
the last update for each server. If steam "bails out" it will just try once
more.
Feel free to use, mv /dev/null, whatever :)
